TEXAS A&M
Soon after he first arrived in College Station, Jimbo Fisher challenged Aggie Nation to do their part in setting a new national attendance record for a spring game.
The 12th Man has been operating at a frenzied pace since Fisher arrived and with expectations at an all-time high following a coaching hire in College Station, there’s a good chance the Texas A&M faithful show up in record numbers on Saturday, April 14th.
The school recently posted a new promo video for the upcoming game which highlights both Fisher and the A&M legends that came before him that plan to meet on the field at halftime to an alumni game.

Looking forward to the release of the Jimbo era at TA&M. I want to see what all the hype is about.
Absolutely no reason he shouldn’t be competing with the conference leaders within a couple of seasons. Honestly, there is talent now, but not necessarily depth for Jimbo’s style of play on offense. It is interesting to see if Elko can do what he did at Notre Dame. Defense not too far away. A little thin at Corners and DEs, but DTs, LBs, and Safeties looking SEC ready. Can’t wait!
Couple of seasons? We didn’t dump 75 mil for a coach to compete with the best in a couple of seasons. Sumlin got 8 wins out of this team, doing the bare minimum. Fisher better be ready to add 2 more to the win column. Starting this year. If that doesn’t happen we shouldn’t have fired Sumlin.
I’d be surprised if Fisher pulled a 10-win season from the hat in his first season. And to say A&M shouldn’t have fired Sumlin if Fisher doesn’t win 10 games his first year is absolute madness, sir. Fisher will get the wins, but as the saying goes, good food takes time to cook.
I could see an 8 or 9 win regular season and add a bowl win for an acceptable first season. 2019 schedule is absolutely brutal with Clemson and Georgia along with the usual slog of the SEC west. I’m willing to be patient until 2020 for real success as long as we’re competitive.
BootyBuster:
The Sumlin line is debatable, but since I’m dealing with a toddler, I’ll drop it.
Losing to Auburn, LSU, and Alabama (like Sumlin did) and beating both Mississippi schools (like we should) and a bowl win is good enough for 10 wins. How is that hard to see happening? Do you really think that the rest of the Mississippi schools have the same talent level as Texas A&M? I’ll answer for you, no they don’t. With that understood (hopefully), Fisher was hired to coach up talent, regardless of the many excuses people want to come up with.
AgRider: That’s what I’m anticipating as well. The bowl victory will give us 10 wins. Fisher can do that right out the gate. Like I’ve state ad nauseam, Sumlin gave us at least 8 wins, Fisher better be good for 1 more. Plain and simple.
I also think people are ignoring the fact that we have an X-factor calling the plays on defense this year. Mike Elko is a clear upgrade from John “we’re not gonna change a thing” Chavis. Ags will be ready to roll to 9 wins, and a bowl victory.
Gig’Em!
Can’t we have a discussion about football without ad hominem? I didn’t say anything to offend you, yet you resort to name-calling?
“Do you really think that the rest of the Mississippi schools have the same talent level as Texas A&M? I’ll answer for you, no they don’t.”
Where did that come from? Who said anything about Mississippi schools? Try and stay on topic here. Fact is, TA&M will get to 10 wins EVENTUALLY, but not this year. Just take a seat and watch it unfold. You should expect less than 10 wins so when it happens, you won’t explode into tears. I’ve been watching football for 30 years. I know what to expect and what not to expect out of a program in its first year with a new HC.
So you go on a full year of being a complete douche and you think that you get to decide when people stop calling you names that fit your persona? Ok. I’m sorry for hurting your feelings, let’s have an adult conversation.
I brought up the Mississippi schools because they are usually the teams that Sumlin loses to, and the deciding factor if we reach 9 wins regular season (this includes losing to Bama,LSU, Auburn). Are you that damn dense????
“I’ve been watching football for 30 years. I know what to expect and what not to expect out of a program in its first year with a new HC.”
Right, the 2012 football team is rolling on the floor laughing at that. And before you pull the “well ya’ll had a generational talent at QB, ya’ll don’t have him now” argument out of your a$$, understand you were still wrong. Regardless of what we had. We also aren’t the only team to have a 1st year head coach be successful. It happens literally every year. Lastly, you watching football for 30 years has little to do with your football IQ, or your knowledge of our 2018 football team for that matter. I bet you didn’t expect Ole Mi$$ to shrivel into complete obscurity, no you didn’t. Your dumb a$$ doesn’t think a first year head coach that won a national championship, and averaged 10 wins a season for the past 8 years (think about that), can’t win one more than a do-nothing coach? LMAO, Jimbo literally went 10-4 his first year at Florida State; that’s both 10 wins and “from the hat”.
Apologies for the Thesis, but people should respond to ignorance with knowledge. I broke it down in Barney terms, but it evaded you the first go-round. Anything else?
Well done proving you’re incapable of having a conversation without personal attacks. I quick reading after the first paragraph. I don’t know what the rest of it says.
Well most toddlers quit once they find something challenging and don’t their way. Enjoy nap time, BottleBuster.
quit*
What is your deal, dude? What the hell is wrong with you? You sound like the child you’re describing. Do you not understand that? If you’re so grown and mature, why take such a low road? Is it because this is the internet and you can get away with degrading people?
You have to be trolling right? I’m supposed to take the low road with the troll of the year? lol Mr. “I love Louis C.K. so I hope you understand my humor”? Get real! LMAO!!!!!
You are unbelievable.
You are the biggest idiot to ever post under our great logo. Our Flagship has no place for a moron like you or Les. Now move along. You have to be a leg humper, you lesbianic little girl. Please stop posting as as a Rebel because you are not a member of our community. And get a job, you are on this website way too much. How old are you 14?
The West needs blood at the top, A&M is the team along with possibly LSU to be there. Good luck.
What does your post even mean?
He doesn’t know…
